2010 CSAs Begin!



Well our seeds are in, and the 2010 season has officialy begun!

We began taking enrollment in our CSA program this week, and are looking foward to a productive and significantly larger farm this year.

Last month we stepped-up our equiptment holdings with the addition of a "new" Ford Jubilee tractor. This fully-restored 1953 antique will be the workhorse of our plowing operation (watch for a future video of YOUR farm in operation!)

In recent months we have also become members of CERTIFIED NATURALLY GROWN, (an industry certifier of chemical-free farming), and LOCAL HARVEST.

Presently we are also on the USDA long list for the 'Obama Garden' high-tunnel pilot program. This is a Federal 3-year study program looking at the feasibility of extended-season produce growing, using hoop houses (or 'poly-tunnels').

If you are interested in subscribing to our CSA program this year, our online sign-up sheet can be found on our web (TheDahliaFarm.com). You can print the form and mail a check, or if you'd prefer to pay by cash or credit card, please give us a ring (days 508-947-0174, evenings, 508-947-8802).

Be sure to watch our website for updates (blog link at top) as well as some new videos as the season progresses.

Thanks for your support!
